Four voices and arrangements built around Afro-Brazilian chant, close harmony, and a live-band feel rather than museum-piece revival. The set should move between devotional call-and-response, lilting groove, and choral weight, with the Os Tincoãs songbook at the center.
Pra Gira Girar formed to re-read Os Tincoãs through vocal study and arrangement reconstruction, and the festival text places their 2026 release around that project. Os Tincoãs’ 1960s-70s catalogue is the reference point, and the group’s work belongs to the Brazilian popular music lineage where candomblé-inflected harmony and ensemble singing travel together.

The quartet was formed in celebration of Os Tincoãs, then dug into vocal studies and arrangement reconstruction.
